North Africian Cardamom Cookies

Easy! (and I love the way the directions are written). Found in another trip through one of my boxes of old recipes cut from newspapers and magazines. I'm guessing at the yield.

Ingredients

• 1  cup unsalted butter
• 2  cups sugar

1. In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar and cardomom powder for 3 minutes.
2. Then with the beater going add the eggs one at a time.
